At first glance from that angle, I didn't have anything.

Even from the other angles, there's nothing conclusive. Bob must have seen something willful and deliberate.

It is nice to see the announcers berating the player instead of the umpire. They allowed that he may have grabbed the infielder, dumb for sliding headfirst and double dumb for it causing the extra out. They said he slides feet first, that slide was legal.

They were right except for the "causing the extra out" part. That's on Bob Davidson for making a bad call.

We don't know that, we can't see if he grabbed the fielder or not. Bob says he did, we can't see. The announcers allowed how he might have but if he had slid correctly there would have been no question.

That's a perfect example of being a plumber or being a detective.  Shuoldnt have been called in my opinion.

Choose your words wisely.

Exactly what I was thinking while watching the clip.  Not sure about the interference, but they bashed that player like they were bashing an umpire.
